Sun Tel EV 783

[Minoru]

Has anyone any clues how to get this crossword underway?

[Physicsgirl]

Answers on the bottom row are entered backwards; answers from the bottom half of the last column are entered backwards .... hope this helps. The unclued entry could be "trail ones coat tails" but I could be wrong. 22d is MICROHM (entered backwards) and 5a is CESTOIDS (right way round). Suspect similar rules for clues starting in the first column - i.e. half to be entered backwards.

[Physicsgirl]

sorry, should have read "DOWN answers in the bottom half of the grid" are possibly entered backwards.
Good luck, still working on it myself.

[novalis]

All answers ( across and down ) in bottom half are entered backwards. Unclued answer is one word which is entered forwards then backwards.

[Physicsgirl]

thanks Novalis .... suspected that I was premature with my unclued answer suggestion. So much for my help!...

[crofter]

Am I on the right track for 21 across?

Clue: Reveal method in South Dakota (4)

I wanted it to be SHOW = HOW in SD (with D an extra letter)
However, I appear to have S?OM (what's gone wrong?)

[Physicsgirl]

I also have S?OM. Don't know what's going on! When I first replied to this thread I only had half the grid completed so I'm waiting for someone (usual suspect) to ridicule my suggestion for the unclued entry ....

[MatydaLover]

Nothing wrong with your answers, try rotating the grid to enter the bottom half

[MatydaLover]

... what is an M when it is entered upside-down?

[Minoru]

Many thanks all for your suggestions. Obviously a tougher one this week.

[Physicsgirl]

thanks
things are a bit hectic with me at the moment as I await news of my Gran (very ill) in between hospital visits 70 miles away (I'm her only relative!). Will probably not get finished this week as a result, but will try to keep up with the thread. Sorry for not being much good at contributing. Will probably have a lot of questions when things die down, so hope you'll all oblige as usual
